Still No Therapist!

[wilhelmeiner.livejournal.com]

Hey there!

Though my parents know of my transgender issues, they still haven't sent me to a therapist. This has been going on now for the past few months and it's driving me insane! They don't understand I need someone professional to speak with about my inner feelings.

Work Bathroom

[justanormalgirl.livejournal.com]

My work found out that I'm trans. Now they say that I can't use either the women's or the men's bathroom but instead have to clock out, walk to another store in the complex, use their bathroom then come back and clock in. So instead of taking 30 seconds to pee, it takes me almost 10 minutes.

Can they legally do this? I live in Washington State.

UPDATE: Telling my manager that I had a lawyer and was preparing an anti-discrimination suit against the company because of the decision of my regional manager made him quite upset at me. The next day, yesterday, he called me into the office much changed and had a process for me to follow. I guess he must have got a talking to from HR or someone. At least this is resolved and I can pee in peace. Hooray!

Looking to bring trans performers/artists/DJs to Montreal

[mindtheft.livejournal.com]

I Want Your Sex Too! is a monthly cabaret and dance party in Montreal, QC that is curated by and for trans* folk.

The goals of I Want Your Sex Too! are as follows:

-to raise $$$ for local trans people to cover various costs of transitioning
-to provide a cultural space for trans people to showcase their art** (ie: music, drag, spoken word, photography, film, performance art, etc)
-to provide a space for trans folk to share and learn skills (ie: DJ, sound/tech stuff, make a flier)

*trans is used as an umbrella term meant to encompass all those who self-identify as transsexual, transgender, transvestite, trans, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, gender-variant, agender, crossdresser, non-cisgendered, non-cissexual, drag king, drag queen, drag, MTF, FTM and/or some combination of the above identities.

**I Want Your Sex Too! recognizes that for most trans people, "trans" is only one aspect of their day-to-day world. I Want Your Sex Too! also understands that many trans folk belong to numerous marginalized communities simultaneously. Thus, I Want Your Sex Too! encourages artwork/submissions from trans people of colour, trans sex workers, sero-positive trans people, trans people living with disabilities, poor trans people, and many other trans folk that experience intersecting forms of oppression.

***Unless noted otherwise, people of any (or no) gender are free to attend all events organized by I Want Your sex Too!***
